eCommerce fulfilment is the storage and delivery of goods. It’s a simple concept really, but the infrastructure behind it can be pretty sophisticated. It’s easy to do if you know how.
Firstly, systems integrate with your marketplaces or websites as your goods are taken into the warehouse (which includes setting your delivery options). Then goods are put into stock, and inventory synchronised (so you get live ‘in stock’ across channels) and you are good to go.
Your orders automatically come in from your systems to the warehouse and you should have 100% transparency of goods – ‘in stock’, ‘due to be picked’ and ‘packed’, ‘fulfilled orders’, ‘despatches’, and ‘your shipments out for delivery’. 
And then you can see what has been delivered – or if there’s a problem – what has not.
It’s a well-trodden process, which some logistics partners do better than others. The winning factors of a great fulfilment partnership is robust processes, people and technology, and that’s what we deliver at Diamond.
Our people are your people, they’re an extension of your team. With Diamond, you’re assigned a client care team that you can 100% rely on. They’re a name that you know at the end of the phone, or when you pop in to your local site to touch and see your products.
